Parrish recorded nine tackles (five solo) in the Buccaneers' 38-35 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

Parrish played on 97 percent of the snaps -- 59 total -- and was highly active during his time on the field, tying Lavonte David for the team lead in tackles. The rookie third-round pick set a new career high in stops with his tally, which was partly the result of the Buccaneers being without Jamel Dean (hip), Benjamin Morrison (hamstring) and Christian Izien (quadriceps) in the secondary for Sunday's contest. Parrish could fill an elevated role again in a Week 6 home matchup against the 49ers if some or all of the aforementioned trio remains sidelined.

Williams returned five kickoffs for 129 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-35 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

With Sean Tucker moving into the No. 2 running back role Sunday as part of the domino effect of the absence of Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder), Williams had an opportunity to move into the kickoff-returner role and handled it with success. Williams even got in for two snaps on offense but didn't log any touches in what was his first game with active status this season. The undrafted LSU product remains at the bottom of the running back depth chart, but he could reprise his special-teams duties Week 6 against the 49ers since Irving is expected to remain out for that contest.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor was non-committal Monday when asked whether Browning would start Sunday's game against the Packers, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Browning has performed poorly in three starts since Joe Burrow was sent to injured reserve with a toe injury. After completing 33 of 52 pass attempts (63.5 percent) for 265 yards (5.1 YPA), one touchdown and two interception in losses to the Vikings and Broncos in Weeks 3 and 4, respectively, Browning bottomed out in the Bengals' 37-24 loss to the Lions on Sunday, throwing three more picks. Unless the Bengals elect to look outside the organization for a potential change at quarterback heading into Week 6, the other options beyond Browning would be backup Brett Rypien and practice-squad members Mike White and Sean Clifford.

Tracy (shoulder) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday's practice report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Tracy returned to practice last Friday and appears to be nearing a return after missing the Giants' past two contests following his shoulder injury Week 3 against the Chiefs. During Tracy's absence, Cam Skattebo has started each of the last two games and has totaled 40-138-0 rushing and 8-56-0 on nine targets out of the backfield. Skattebo lost a critical fumble at the goal line in Sunday's loss to the Saints and hasn't shown enough to slam the door on Tracy regaining his role as the team's RB1 upon his return.

Dart (hamstring) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday's practice report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The Giants didn't actually practice but were required to release an estimation ahead of Thursday night's game against the Eagles. Dart dealt with the hamstring issue in practice last week but was able to play Sunday against the Saints. He should be under center for Thursday night's divisional tilt.

Slayton (hamstring) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's practice report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Slayton pulled up lame in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Saints, and now the Giants have a short week ahead of Thursday night's game against the Eagles. If Slayton is unable to play Week 6, Jalin Hyatt and Beaux Collins figure to see every-down snaps alongside slot man Wan'Dale Robinson, though the Giants could use more two-tight end sets featuring Daniel Bellinger.

Blackshear signed with the Steelers' practice squad Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Blackshear was dropped by the Panthers with an injury settlement in late August and spent time with the Titans' practice squad in late September. However, he's since found a new home in Pittsburgh and could be elevated for the Week 6 matchup against the Browns if Jaylen Warren (knee) is unable to return.

Scott had five carries for 18 yards but lost a fumble in Sunday's win over Cleveland in London.

Scott played on 14 of the offense's 65 snaps and was the clear No. 2 running back ahead of Cam Akers (one snap on offense). Scott's fumble could put his No. 2 running back role at risk, but it doesn't appear Akers is a significant threat. However, Scott may have just one more game as the backup if Aaron Jones (hamstring) is able to return from injured reserve Week 8.

Head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Monday that Dodson is in concussion protocol following Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Panthers, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to Dodson's concussion in Week 5, he tallied four total tackles across 43 defensive snaps. The veteran linebacker from Texas A&M now must clear concussion protocol in order to suit up for Miami's Week 6 matchup against the Chargers. If he's unable to play, expect K.J. Britt to handle the Dolphins' top inside-linebacker duties.

Gibson suffered a torn ACL in Sunday night's win over the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

It didn't look good after Gibson was in tears as he was helped off the field in the first half. He'll now miss the remainder of the 2025 season and finished his campaign with 25 carries for 106 yards and one touchdown. Gibson also caught two passes for six yards on three targets. With Gibson on the shelf, the Patriots figure to ride the tandem of Rhamondre Stevenson and dynamic rookie TreVeyon Henderson the rest of the way. Terrell Jennings currently is on the practice squad and will be an option to join the 53-man roster.
